    Is this an ad for something or just trying to spread general fear and panic?

    One of my favorite parts of living in SF were these dumb billboards. They’re so bad - though this one is a bit more dystopian than most.

        That section of the freeway always has niche tech billboards. It took me a little while to get used to.

      Now most of the billboards are about privacy - we value your privacy, our company keeps your data private, blah blah. From Apple, Whatsapp, and Google rofl. Like “we have always been at war with Eastasia” levels of bullshit.

        That and Rippling! I feel like every trashcan in the city is Ripping or a weed delivery company.

        Funny how they both chose the trash cans!

      How many of these billboard/muni and bart ads are by companies who end up failing?

      It really seems like the billboard/transit ad is perfect for founders with too much money and not enough marketing sense.

    Meh, they already have this job. How many times have you had to go through a text or voice chatbot to get a human already?

    Should we complain if these bots actually get more useful and answer our questions faster?

    Yes, they will be confidently wrong sometimes. But so are the humans.

      So true, a lot of smart people where I work seem to buy the whole “all human knowledge” aspect of GPT models 😬
